Easy-Living Excellence with a Gorgeous Garden Surprise!
Please contact us via email or phone to speak about your options to inspect this property. Thank you
On its own separately-titled block with no shared land (approx 334sqm), this Californian classic delivers a lifestyle of low-maintenance perfection with its quality enhancements throughout, expansive outdoors to enjoy and exceptional urban convenience. Filled with natural light, the home's immaculately-presented interior comprises a wide entrance hallway accessing three genuinely large bedrooms - all with built-in robes and ceiling fans. Add to this a stylish modern bathroom with stone-top vanity and versatile open-plan lounge/dining area complemented by a contemporary kitchen complete with soft-close drawers, stainless steel cooking appliances and ample cupboard space. High ceilings throughout, the home also includes a full-size internal laundry, gas heating and split-system air conditioning, solid timber floors and premium Italian Signorino terrazzo tiling (kitchen and bathroom). Double sliding doors from the lounge reveal a sunny and surprisingly large yard with lush lawn area, established gardens, handy storage shed and high fences for absolute privacy, plus a delightful native front garden and two-car off-street parking. Moments from the Plenty Road tram stop, it's also walking distance to High Street shops, cafes and cosmopolitan Preston Market, close to local schools (zoned to Preston South PS and Preston HS), as well as easy access to a choice of bus routes and Preston Station.

Owners Notes
When we bought the house 5 years ago, it needed some love! We've spent the past 5 years uncovering and restoring the beautiful original elements of the home and enhancing with modern touches. The wide hall and large bedrooms are some of our favourite things about the home. We will miss the natural light and high ceilings - they make the internal spaces feel very generous.
We worked with Andy from Leaf by Leaf to design two different but cohesive outdoor spaces... we wanted the front yard to feel sculptural, using natives and importantly enhanced the facade of the house. When painting the house, we used Dulux Domino to create a dramatic shadow and allow the garden, and particularly the silver princess gums, to be the focus. We love the garden and often get stopped by someone passing by with a lovely compliment or question.
In the backyard, Andy designed a practical outdoor room. Its hosted many bbqs with friends and family, its such a great space to entertain we don't bother taking the festoon lights down. In lockdown we had a new appreciation for the yard and the fire pit - entertaining ourselves with outdoor movies projected on to the fence.
Preston has changed quite a bit since we moved in... we love the market being so close and never bother driving because the carpark is a nightmare. There are also many other great options in Preston, some of our faves include:
⁃ Coffee and fresh pasta at Pausa Pranzo
⁃ Coffee, fruit bread and cinnamon scrolls at Stray Neighbour
⁃ Beers and pool at Racoon Club
⁃ Pints at Tallboy and Moose
⁃ Crossiants at Publique
⁃ Borek from Ishtar Borek
- Margaritas and tacos at Benzina Cantina
We also love the proximity to Thornbury - 5mins on the tram and we are enjoying Pallino, Carwyn Cellars, Umbertos or Super Ming. One of our absolute favourite things about this house is the tram stop! With the help of tram tracker, we can brush our teeth and leave the house with one minute to spare and always catch the tram!
We hope you enjoy the house (and the area) as much as we have.
